Erosion Control Coir Blankets
Erosion control coir blankets or Geo-textiles are made of pure coir fibre, drawn from the husk of the coconut without adding any synthetic material, and is a 100% natural product.
It is used as a Blanket to prevent soil erosion, and accelerate growth of vegetation on banks and slopes. The distinctive feature compared to conventional geotextiles is that it is used for soil stabilization, reinforcement, landscaping and erosion control.
Erosion control Blankets are made of coconut coir fibre with photodegradable or biodegradable top and bottom grids stitched up together as forming a sandwich. Thickness of the coir layer changes according to the specified applications. Top and bottom layers holds coir fiber with the help of stitched yarn. These erosion control blankets have a lifetime of 5-10 years.
Coir fiber is naturally resistant to rot, moulds and moisture, it needs no chemical treatment. Hard and strong, it can be spun and woven into matting. They also have the right strength and durability to protect the slopes from erosion, while allowing vegetation to flourish. They can dissipate the energy of flowing water and absorb the excess solar radiation.
